Hong Kong Biotech IPO Momentum 2026: China's 'Harvest Phase' Begins
Hong Kong's biotech fundraising momentum is set to continue through 2026, driven by global licensing deals and strong IPO performance from Chinese drug developers.
China's biotech sector is attracting capital once again. A wave of licensing deals and strong post-initial public offering (IPO) performance in 2025 has convinced investors that the region's drug developers are worth backing—even before they've cleared the revenue hurdle.
The 2026 Outlook for Hong Kong Biotech IPOs
The fundraising momentum in Hong Kong's biotech sector is expected to extend throughout 2026. According to Felix Huang, head of equity at Oakwise Capital, the expansion of Chinese innovation drugs into overseas markets has become the industry mainstream. This shift indicates that the domestic innovation sector has finally entered its 'harvest phase.'
From Domestic Focus to Global Expansion
Investors are no longer just looking at local market potential. The surge in global licensing-out deals proves that the technology behind these pre-revenue firms is globally competitive. As we move into 2026, the positive sentiment from last year's successful listings provides a solid foundation for the next wave of biotech firms seeking public capital.
